The minky backing is all pieced together and ready for basting in the morning. It was made from minky remnants I have been gathering for almost 3 years. I love how soft it is but boy is it messy stuff. Once again...middle of the night lighting. #minkybacking#christmassewing#secretsewing#piecedquilt

This is day one of my 6 Days of Christmas Sewing 🧵. I bought this ornament kit a few days after my father died. It reminded me of him for a lot of reasons, but mostly because we used to create Christmas ornaments together when I was small. So this year, I am creating ornaments in his memory. He always cheered on my creations no matter how tacky or time-consuming. I was very lucky.

Day 10 of 12 Days of Being Thankful. What book are you thankful you read? There are so many right? . For me, it’s Alice in Wonderland & through the Looking Glass. I have read it so many times. I’m always intrigued about why it was written, the language, the stories woven in rhyme… everything about it has delighted me for years and still does. . ** Join me today in stepping back today from our busy rushing lives. Stop and reflect once a day with me on something we are thankful for. I'll give you a broad topic, tell you mine,then you share in the comments. Also read what others write. It brings us all joy to celebrate together! . ** Pattern is the Stocking block in my I Believe at https://pat-sloan.dpdcart.com/product/168179 .#christmassewing#Christmas#christmasquilt#bethankful

After wrapping all the gifts to date, I set in making some small thank you gifts. My intention with the ✏️ was to make a zippered pouch for our son’s tutor but my scape got a bit big. By a lot! So I grabbed some scraps from former drapes and a length of twill webbing and make a book bag. The trees will be trivets for our cleaning ladies. Made entirely from scraps in my stash! #christmassewing#sewyourstash#handmadegifts#theflanneltomato 🍅

The babes are napping, soup is in the crockpot, and these silly deer are on my cutting table. I decided at the last minute to make some new napkins for our Christmas dinner, and I thought these guys were perfect! My super simple method for making #clothnapkins is going to blow your mind. I take a yard of fabric, cut it into fat quarters, and hem the edges. Seriously it’s that easy!

Welcome to Santa’s Sewing Workshop! I whipped up a few new pot holders for my Mama (don’t worry she doesn’t follow this account). Especially love the lemon fabric I got from @monalunadesign ❤️ 🎅 🎄 #christmassewing
